Nimble Greyhoof an artifact finder. Lives in downtown Manehatten. Is given a mission by HQ, probably in the Manehatten Museum of Natural History, to find a artifact lost to time in the Bermuda Triangle. Since electronics don't work and the Bermuda Triangle is known to have the largest sea carnivores Grey is going to fly in and crash a plane, but jumps out and parachutes down.
He will end up in the middle of a jungle miles and miles long, as far as he can see with the dense fog. He will travel for a day before he comes to the end of the jungle and finds some flatlands with a small village. At the village he will meet Maneico who, just so happens to be around his age, and she will help him find the ancient temple. Once they find the temple she will lead him to the entrance, but find it to be locked so she starts to take him to secret entrance she used as a child and the fall through the floor.
After gaining consciousness they find themselves in a rather large underbelly to the temple even Maneico had not seen before. This gives spirit and excitement to Grey and they push further into the temple underbelly. After finding and old torch Grey re-lights it then they move on to the next corridor. This one, just like the last is a large room with an upward sloping ceiling. They find a large table running the span of the room with chairs occupied by a skeleton. In the middle of the table is a large Dias which seemed to tell time but how with no light then the find out that there are windows in the walls but they are filled with dirt. This uncovers that the temple had sank into the ground and on cue a small rumble spread throughout the temple. The windows screeched as they scraped against the rock and dirt of the earth. After this stops Grey decides to move to the Dias; Maneico tries to stop him from touching it, but is too late as when he touches it torches all around the room light up and the doors close. The skeletons situated in their seats rise with an unnatural force. All of them just stand out of their seats for a moment, but as Maneico starts to ask what us happening they burst into a fit of screeches and light up their horns, running over to Grey and Maneico driving them further apart.
